Stayed in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago and gave these a fair nudge at the Hotel bar



Bit like the Fat Yak Pale I thought, decent beer but I still missed my Coopers Pale.

In the fridge...after your recommendation might give it a crack tonight

I went to the Jame Squire Degustation night on Wednesday where they gave you a 5 course meal and matched their 6 Beers up with the appropriate foods. All 6 Beers where excellent even their Porters which is a Stout equivalent went down an absoloute treat. Sundowner, Indian Pale were nice. Pilsner and Amber where a taste sensation and as for the Golden Ale which was matched with the Prawn Salad i think. It is now clearly my favourite Beer.
JAMES SQUIRE GOLDEN ALE

You know its a good beer when it tastes good still out of a can..its the ONLY choice on Qantas (VB, Heineken, Hahn Light )

I'm a guy who loves a beer, even better yet if Ive not tried it before (that maybe a reason why there are well over 1000 different cans and bottles in the collection if the garage), so Im going to keep a track of the beers I try and give them a score out of 10 (of course it VERY subjective..but for those who dont like my scores...enjoy that VB )

So Ive been in NZ for the last couple of weeks so there will be a couple from the land of the long white cloud (or we got further than you in the cricket)

Dux Sou'Wester Dark Strong Stout (bottle).... 7.5

I've just finished a bottle (750 ml) of La Fin Du Monde (French Canadian). I was lucky enough to receive it for my 40th from a good mate.

It's 9% alcohol and has a very sweet taste to it. It's pale to view and best consumed after 10 mins out of the fridge.

I've got another bottle which I'll 'sit on' before consuming.

Reading on this site, it has coriander and orange peel!

Stopped in to BWS Tuesday on my way home from work and grabbed a slab of castaway cider and dry dock beer for $30 each.
By the time I got to Dan Murphy's after sampling the DD's I thought it would be in my best interest to grab another 3 slabs of it, took my receipt in only to find that it was $29.95 there, everyone was happy .

[whufc]

Got a carton of Coopers 62 Pilsner,

just waiting for a mate to get around then its beers, bbq, SANFL on the radio, AFL on the t.v, SAFooty on the net, expect some interesting posts later this evening.

$43.00 a slab for boag's Premium. You beauty. Perfect timing for Easter

I was disgusted to go into my local bottle o yesterday and based on what i have read on here i was gonna give little creatures a crack. But it was $22 for a 6 pack Sorry but that is way too much. I checked out my fav beer JS Golden and that was a whopping $69 for a case Ended up taking a trip down memory lane with a carton of Coopers pale Ale which was only $40. Served very cold it went down a treat even though im not normally a huge fan. CARTON IS NOW GORNSKI

Enjoying my sparkling ales at the moment, so bloody good but give ridiculous hangovers, the extra 1 percent alcohol kills you I reckon

[wristwatcher]

Finally sampled Little Creatures. A great tasting drop indeed, personally it had a very similar flavor and taste to the JS Golden Ale. Snagged a 6 pack from Marion for $15
I also tried a 4 pack of some dirty tap water from Spain. The name escapes me as I literally tipped it out and threw away the final 3. It comes in a red bottle and looks pretty. It's on special at 4 for $10 ATM. But it has won the worst beer I have ever tasted award I got a mate to try it as it was truly that brutal and his face contorted as the suds hit his taste buds.

Estrella? I didn't mind it actually.

James Squire Golden Ale on special for $49.99 at Liqourlands until Wednesday I think, for those interested.

[wristwatcher]

Yes it was Estrella and suprisingly i left it for my neighbour to drink and he also didnt mind it I truly found it vile as did my mate at the time. Different palates i guess.
